How to win lane as Heimerdinger against Renekton · 54.17% win rate over 144 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renekton | At level 1 you have only one turret and no stun, and his Slice and Dice (E) in plus empowered-W stun and fury combo out-bully your contact window — concede it and last-hit safe. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | A second turret and the slowing beams come online, but his point-click empowered-W stun still trades even — match his step-ups with beams, don't auto-war. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | With two turrets and the electron-beam slow you out-zone his approach — make every CS cost him a beam and deny his Q the free minion heal. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Three turret charges plus the CH-3X center-stun make his dive suicidal — hold E for when he Slice and Dices in and burst him while he's locked down and out of dashes. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | UPGRADE!!! a wider, longer grenade stun pins him after he burns E to reach you, and with no second dash he can't escape the electron beams that follow. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | Your first-item sieger spike owns the architecture war — he can't poke the nest down and can't safely enter it, so he's zoned off the lane. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | His fury combo falls off hard while your turrets scale — Liandry's plus Rylai's make the nest a slow-and-burn cage his single E-in can't survive. |
Respect levels 1-3 — you have one turret and no stun, while Renekton can Slice and Dice (E) onto you, point-click stun with empowered Ruthless Predator (W), and dump a full fury combo to just delete you. Don't trade autos into that; last-hit off your single turret and give ground. By 2-3 a second turret and the slowing electron beams start to bite, so place them to zone his step-ups and make every CS cost him a beam to the face. His Q heals him off minions, so don't feed it free — keep him eating turret fire instead of your health bar.
